Would it be possible for you to say which books you used for research, please? and amazing series.

@@countravid3768 I was just wondering the same thing. All I found were a bunch of unrelated links :/

A recommendation @EpichistoryTv Santa Ana

@@Overworkedandunderpaid I noticed you didn't include figures like Emiliano Zapata, or Álvaro Obregón, or Porfirio Diaz, and Pancho Villa; all of whom have very fascinating stories.

you never let enough time to read the texts

Agree wholeheartedly

Then watch a documentary and not a movie

There should be Napoleon series not a movie, there’s is just not enough time to show the events in non fiction way. For the time being these documentaries are perfect substitutes.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@balabanasiretiMovies can be interesting while keeping true to historical fact, like Gettysburg and Tora! Tora! Tora!

@@mintajero second this

False tho

@@potato88872 Obviously

Yeah the movie made several historical inaccuracies. Still a good movie though

No.@@jessedellross3245

no your comment is inaccurate. very bad movie not worth the watch@@jessedellross3245

3 weeks late, but just to correct that Napoleon was at his best during 1804 to 1807, however he was just incredible general, possibly the best.

I cant judge Ridley until the uncut director edition comes out which is about 5.5 hrs long. This is the same as Kingdom of Heaven where they cut a lot which made the story different from what Ridley had intended. The uncut director edition of Kingdom of Heaven was a master piece and that what I want the uncut Napoleon would be like.

@@khonhlo1476you can probably judge him for his reaction of “get a life”

His glorious soldiers of the Italian campaign were off hand abandoned on the Egyptian shore, not a CRIME, just HIS path to glory.

The true Napoleon was the ice cream we bought along the way

Spoilers, it sucks

For real man. I wish I was a trillionaire to make this a historically accurate film.

It’s already out in some places and yeah I don’t recommend it The battles look great, at least, even if some are dumb

@@looinrims you watched it?

They heard how inaccurate the film is, which is why they are making these very precise videos of his campaigns. But its not like Hollywood could ever care...

I would love to see a detailed video on Egypt too! Unfortunately I’m not sure if it’ll be as popular as the other action packed pitched battle campaigns. There was one significant battle in Egypt but other than that, not much “cool action”

Don’t take this as fact yet but it was mentioned by a commenter who claimed to be on Patreon that the channel is planning to do at least two more series on Napoléon - his Egyptian campaign & his coup détat.

Please please!!!

Then it could be shorter than the rest, but it should still exist.@@TheEvilbunny150

Fascinating; thank you very much for sharing.

@@asterix45 slavèry was practice by every civilazation even now some like china , pakistan and qatar stil do it , so its not that some thing the french invent , in fact they were the one to end it north africa , and yeah Napoleon was a chad ,but got spanked so hard but the allies

​@asterix45 I dont think anybody idolizes him lol. He's a brilliant commander, arguably the best ever, no matter what awful things he did, he still deserves to be recognized and respected for his incredible military feats, at least.

@@asterix45 Yes.

@@asterix45yeah he’s still pretty awesome. Too bad he didn’t treat his colonies as well as say Britain, or Austria. 😂. NOT! History is a dark place. But for his time he was a great man, and actually possibly the best war mind EVER. That’s pretty interesting. Darth Vader is evil…. And he is SUPER interesting. Can’t you liberal idiots understand that you don’t have to love everything about someone to respect something about them? Stop smelling your owns farts and let people enjoy a history video tool bag.

​@asterix45 A person can marvel at the actions of someone without agreeing with what they did. Napoleon and many other great military leaders of history like Julius Caesar caused the deaths of millions. Nobody agrees with napoleon's actions in Germany or caesar's actions in gaul. We really just marvel at the battle genius they showed, not their political and social beliefs.

I agree., yet as he famously said, "history is a (convenient) lie, agreed upon by the Victors of conflict", Nevertheless, there's a 'queleque chose' about these accounts which I think are quite gripping,

lol me too

Arguably not even his best campaign too.Later on when the coalition has improved their armies to match his, he still beats them over and over again in battles. I'd say that's more impressive since the coalition basically rebuilt their whole militaries after this Italy campaign.

Indeed. Belisarius is the only similar general I can think of.

no bro , its EPIC

I'm only 47 minutes into the video and Napoleon has almost been captured twice already. He took some stupid risks sometimes.

It is difficult to lead from behind.@@greywolf7577

He was lucky to know how to use his brain otherwise not much luck involved especially how his major blunders are only luck induced such as losing all of your army to illnesses, cold and bad harvest causing massive starvation.

Yes he was lucky to be Charismatic, tireless, hard working, smart and overall the best military commander in History 👌

And also that his opposite number made some bad mistakes. and that he didn't catch a cannon ball in the head. @@mexicomax77

Europe history is basically France alone versus everyone else and somehow France still exist and is the largest country in Europe after Russia

@@ommsterlitz1805without the allies it would be a german speaking state today 😂

No it wouldn't without the allies France would have attacked Germany in 1936 and easily won the war with no remilitarisation of Germany, it's because France trusted the allies that it only won in 1944 instead of 1936 or even 40 as the brits cried to France theyt wanted to be part of the offensive in Germany in 1940 and when they made France wait months brits got scared and decided to not attack inside Germany and the invasion was called off. @@mfx3351

@@osowiecwalking9434 Without the US and Russia, you guys would be a minority now. Shut up.

Thank you, I came to post this exact moment after coming back, just like you. Awful doesn't quite describe it, it's like Ridley Scott was acting on purpose to craft the most obnoxious film possible.

@@GrandMoffTarkinsTeaDispenser If Napoleon's Marshalls were played by Carrot Top, Gilbert Gottfried, John Leguizamo, and Rodney Dangerfield, it would have been less obnoxious than what Ridley Scott shoveled out.

Didn't waste my time with it new it would be a stinker. Funny thing though Scott's first movie "The Duelists" is period piece from the Napoleanic era and is a good movie.

That film is bad.

Glad I didnt waste money on it then💪😂

idk why the director even bother show us napoleons private love life and that awkward s*x scene, crawling under the table like wtf.. who cares about that??

His first film The Duellists was very good, but very average after that. Terrible DocuDrama of Gettysburg, but I will give Gladiator a B as it really wasn't dealing with 'real people' 'or at least I don't think it was?)

@@christopherf8912 that baboon over there. Oh, btw: do you have de shovels up de punaani by any chance?

@@kleinenfuchse5365 I can’t seem to find any, but I got a good feeling you know exactly where they are and how it feels.

Oh yeah, most definitely. Even with Napoleon's skills, there were still some dangerously close moments such as in the Castiglione and Arcole sub-campaigns. When you actually track down the exact dates of the movements of the armies, you realize that Napoleon won just by the skin of his teeth through daring, audacity, and lightning quick manoeuvres. All of these had to factor into his success and, if even one element was out of place, it would have meant defeat. I've studied so many capable captains throughout history and don't think anyone else could have done it. Some might have come close, but fall just short; most everyone else would have been caught by Wurmser and Alvinczi's encirclement of their forces or forced to give ground entirely. The Rivoli sub-campaign, even accounting for Weyrother's poor usage of concentration (Provera, Bajalics, failing to use Mittrowsky's column), would have seen any lesser tactician destroyed. EHTV does have the numbers wrong for Rivoli, as Napoleon possessed only 20,400 engaged in the battle at most against 28,000 (25,100 if you don't count Vukassovich's column). Yet, Rey's division did not arrive until the end of the battle, so for most of the engagement, the actual French forces on the field were only 16,200, odds of 3:2. This is also because Massena had left the 32nd demi-brigade to guard Verona, so Brune was forced to hold off Lusignan's column with just the 18th demi-brigade (about 1,600 French vs. 4,400 Austrians). Even in the Bassano sub-campaign, you see Lauer concoct a plan to outflank Napoleon's positions concentrated around Rivoli and Verona, which is strangely reminiscent of the plan employed by Prince Eugene to bypass Marechal Catinat at the onset of his own Italian Campaign. By thrashing that operation as he did, he proved himself superior to a great captain (and one of his personal heroes), in that Eugene's plan rehashed by the Austrians were completely dashed. More so, because Wurmser and Lauer had far more resources than Eugene ever possessed.

@@doritofeesh I see Like me you seem to have a habit of going off an a tangent and giving the details but it was an interesting comment you just posted!

Wumser was a good general. Anyone who says he is incompetent is not educated enough to discuss the napoleanic wars

Intresting footnote in my Saint Cyr History Course - realted to the Italian Campaign (my translation); The Division of Massena between 13-16 January (NB WINTER) All day 13th - Battle of Verona Night of 13th-14th Night Marche Verona to Rivoli 30kms ALL day 14th - Battle of Rivoli Night March 14th-15th to La Favorite 56kms All Day 15th Battle La Favorite So, between13th-16th January in Deep Winter trekking across severe terrain 38 hours of Marching, (24 hours in the night) a total of 86Kms fighting three battles!

Go watch Waterloo 1970 instead

Capn save a h03ism ruined the film?

A film about Napoleon....made by a Brit that despises men. What could go wrong?

The movie was made by a British guy lmao.

Yeah certainly, but I wish I could buy the series on Blu Ray or at least DVD.

@@nikobellic570 its not complete yet, Einstein.

well... this is supported by the collaborative, concurrent and accumulated research of thousands of historians... Scott did not chose the middle road, he did pick a side and that's the side he was "taught" in school in England...

And quite apt given the significant Croatian involvement in this campaign!

The French TV series 'Napoleon' is excellent and is also available with English subtitles as a boxed set - I have it and bought it online. NB it is the version with Christian Clavier in the main role.

@@RodolfoGaming true that. But let's be honest, with all my appreciation for Napoleon, ain't nobody wants to see what happens after Austad and Jena.
